1871 census, take a look at RG 10 / 518 / 24 / 44

Do you have her marriage certificate? If so, what was her father's occupation?

They are living in St Mary Stratford Le Bow, London.

Found Amelia on the 1901 census,wrong letter for the middle name,but its definitely her,as I recognise her husband and kids. She has had 5 more kids since 1891. Some of her other children may have moved or died.
